HIMA, the world’s leading independent provider of technologies for safety-critical applications, is now providing direct access to its solutions and services in the UK and Ireland. Prior to this, HIMA supported this region through Hima-Sella who will continue to partner with HIMA as a System Integrator under the name Sella Controls.

Following a period of sustained global growth over the last 10 years, during which HIMA has doubled in size, the safety specialist continues its expansion. Customers in the UK and Ireland now have direct access to HIMA’s safety expertise and knowledge, from the engineering support and technical services to the training, consultation and advice from its entire global network.

“One of HIMA’s greatest assets is its people – with more TÜV-certified safety specialists than any other safety systems manufacturer, we supply the most reliable functional safety management advice to the process and rail industries,” says Sébastien Lachaise. He leads HIMA operations in the UK and Ireland, enabling IOCs, OEMs, MACs, EPCs and system integrators to develop smart safety solutions that protect people, assets and the environment from harm.
